Resolve missing or unsuitable grouping
- Open the TB and Financials for the selected client/year. Inspect the TB Ledgers Need Grouping indicator where shown.
- Open its review list and assign the intended financial-statement head to each unmapped ledger.
- Use Ledger Names & Mapping below Preparation Progress to review display names and mapping options.
- Use Match CY/PY to compare year-to-year grouping, preview changes and approve the selected rows.
- Automatic mapping is a proposal. Similar ledger names can represent different transactions; check the actual balance and business context.
Review opposite balances in receivables/payables
A credit customer balance may be an advance from a customer, and a debit vendor balance may be an advance to a vendor. Open the relevant receivable/payable note and use Reclassify opposite balances where offered. Review the eligible ledgers and proposed destinations before confirming.
- Confirm the reason for each opposite balance; do not offset unrelated customers/vendors solely to improve the presentation.
- Reclassification is a financial-presentation decision. Verify the resulting note and face-statement totals.
Example: a customer advance
Suppose Customer A has a credit balance of ₹25,000. If it represents money received before supply, review classification as an advance from a customer rather than leaving negative trade receivables. Confirm the underlying transaction first. This is an illustrative example, not an instruction to change every credit customer balance.
